Japaratinga is a tiny city (less than 7 thousand people) located 115 Km (72 miles) north of Maceio. This year was my first trip there and I liked very much the place.
You can still make a day trip there but I would strongly recommend staying there for one or more days. There are some good hotels options there (nothing fancy though). Some hotels offer a variety of options like bike/buggy tours, horseback riding, boat trips, and even ultra-light-plane flights.
However, what I liked the most there is the fact that there are very few tourists. There is only a hand full of hotels/hostels there and all of them have only few rooms. So, even in the high season you will not find this place crowded like any other seashore city in the Northeast. You get the feeling that you have your private beach just for you, friends, and family.
The reason for that is because not everybody knows about Japaratinga and also the fact that it is far away from any major city in the Northeast of Brazil. You need at least 90 minutes to get there by car from Maceio and more than 120 minutes from Recife, the next closest big city.
So, if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy untouched natural beauties this is the place to go.
